Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.

All God's plans have the mark of the cross on them, and all His plans have death to self in them.

Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.

God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil

You don't take your cat with you to go bird shopping. Not because the cat isn't polite, but because he's a cat.

People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them.

I hate the word juicy in describing anything: lips, plots, oranges. But especially novels. It feels - icky. Reminds me of saliva.

Let no act be done without purpose.

I sort of pride myself in my dissatisfaction with my work. I've always been concerned with buying the hype, and having that make your performances suffer.
